Prior to his death Steven Hawking explained the origin of the universe etc. I would suggest that Somchai Srisutthiyakorn has more chance of refuting Hawkings theory than beating Article 44.

Opportunity to give each one a free dog to go home with,

 

Brings a whole new meaning to the term "Chinese Take Away".

Or perhaps not.

Yeah right!

Deja vu

1996

1997

1998

++++++

All talk and no action.

So we have:

A cheap charlie buying beer at the Family Mart for him and his bar fine.

Puts the beers down and asks a chap selling copy cd out side a ladyboy bar to take care of them.

Bar fine returns, collects beers.

Farang looks for beer (note not now looking for bar fine, sorry girlfriend).

Gets angry as ladyboy (sorry girlfriend/barfine) has taken the beers.

Pokes copy cd seller in the eye.

Fight commences.

Thai chap kicks guy in the head.

Guy gets up and leaves.

Copy cd seller fined 50% of max as he admitted it was him ( bit hard not to considering the video).

Apologises to Thailand for bringing Pattaya into disrepute ( the irony is not lost on me).

Heads off back to work, selling copy cds.

Farang goes home.

.

Just another day in a tropical paradise.

"Right guys, welcome to Phuket. The protocol is very simple. 10%, got it? OK off you go."

No, with all respect - you are wrong, my friend: Thailand's junta is actively committed to human rights, democracy, freedom of expression, pluralism of viewpoints, tolerance and ethical governance, indeed is a hub of all these wonderful things. Our dearest Leader has told us so numerous times. I know that, on further reflection, you - and I - would never doubt his honourable word, would we?!

 

Thank you for guiding me back to the roadmap to happiness.

My post was made in haste, without forethought. Can you please forgive me and put it down to " youthfull exuberance".

I shall endeavour to ensure that I will not err again.

Freedom of speech, the right of assembly, the right to peacefully protest.

None of the above are seen in the actions of the government, which is committed to Human Rights as a national agenda.

Brilliant, I did not think that this level of satire/parody existed within the Thai psyche.

Somebody needs to go to jail.

I suspect/regret that it will probably be the film maker rather than the poacher.

All Thai soaps I've ever watched seemed to be identical in boring story and characters; some low-so and hi-so people, with the latter ones (esp. females) always yelling and screaming, and the low-sos fearful and in a slave-like dependence of the hi-so family...

You missed a couple of sub-plots.

Lo-so girl, with white skin, leaves lo-so boy, with dark skin for hi-so boy, with white skin, who happens to look like a girl.

Grandma dies and returns as a ghost.

Man with moustache and black shirt turns out to be villian.

All slaves are happy and all masters benevolent.

All soldiers are wonderfull.

There you go, no need to watch one ever again, thank God.

Hire some Dutch sand-hoppers, they are used to do it and use the sand from the sea. Examples enough along the Dutch coast! My God it is not so hard. For example the beach of Hook of Holland ( Netherlands) made 40 yrs ago very wide and some now dunes and still exist.

 

Ah but, this is Thai sand/sea, very very different.

I understand they are planning to develop a "Thai wheel" very soon.

There is a certain linguistic symmetry here because "farang" means "Frank" (feringhi).

 

Frank-Frankreich-Francia-France.

I had not realised that (he said lying through his teeth.

I am sure you are aware that most British people, including myself, have a great love for and affnity with France, the country, its people, culture, food and wonderfull political system.
